When I ordered my laptop (MSI GT72 Pro), the specs I selected stated 1600MHz RAM and the GTX 980M 8 GB GPU. I just wanted to verify I did actually get what I ordered. Are there any software applications that would allow me to verify these diagnostics? Opening the GT72 is a pain in the .
I tried using cpuz and it thoroughly confused me. First of all, it said I had 4K MB of memory on my GPU, and I know for a fact I selected the 8 GB card. So... is this wrong? Could it be this program isn't configured to read more than 4 GB? And the RAM diagnostics were even more confusing.
Any suggestions, please?

In addition to the already mentioned comprehensive programs, you can also get a system diagnostic from your OEM. For example, Dell offers a pretty comprehensive one when you link to their website.
There are also a host of other indirect programs (like virus protection, Intel® Extreme Tuning Utility, etc.) that offer diagnostic as a part of their application.
Still, other applications like many from the Adobe products suite will give you very basic information on your graphics card, ram, and/or CPU
